Actually, it does, but when you open the files with Phocus (Hasselblad's own software). Phocus comes with a very good noise reduction function.On a side note... this thing shoots amazing portraits at ISO1600 inside! :ROTFL:

Use the PC Sync port.First hiccup is my flash trigger (RadioPopper) doesn't fit on the camera. The pin doesn't slide easily, and when it does it doesn't slide on all the way. Debating on whether I can get a riser (basically a hotshoe to hotshoe adapter) or just switch to something else.
Mario, IMO, take a look at the Profoto AIR Sync Transceiver set. Due to its' proprietary triggering protocol, it is the only radio system that'll allow you full leaf shutter sync at 1/800 on the Hasselblad (I also use up to 1/1000 on my Leica S2-P)I just downloaded Phocus right before you said that to see if their raw rendering is any better. I'm a major LR user and have dabbled in C1.

Use the PC connection on the left side of the camera body, hidden behind a captive rubber cover.Thanks! Tried the PC sync port (labeled as Flash Out on the back). The remote flash triggers when the transmitter is plugged in indicating some sort of charge going through, however when I try to take a photo it never fires. Am I missing a menu setting to force it to use that port?
Profoto certainly builds nice flashes, but I would suggest to use the correct PC port to get the radiopopper transceiver to work first. Getting a little less than "full leaf shutter sync" is not a very big deal, you may just lose a bit of flash power.Mario, IMO, take a look at the Profoto AIR Sync Transceiver set.

The pretty lady definitely looks happier with the Leica S2-P!Mario, IMO, take a look at the Profoto AIR Sync Transceiver set.

Do not know what lights you use, but you do NOT have to be using Profoto lighting to use the AIR system.

Here are a couple of shots showing AIR in use. Another Photographer asked me to do a portrait session and we had fun equipping her with my gear … the Hassey shot of her holding the S2-P was using the HC210/4 (great lens!) … the Leica shot of her holding the Hasselblad & 210 was using the Leica S120 Macro (before I upgraded to the CS leaf-shutter version of this lens).
Note the Hassey shot showing the grip that frees up the hot shoe for TTL fill flash … it is a Kirk Grip with a ARCA QR. AIR is plugged into the side of the Hasselblad via a PC cord.
If you do not have a mono-pod, I suggest you get one. The RRS HD MonoPod head works great with the H camera.
BTW, LightRoom has all the Hasselblad HC and HCD lens profiles that were provided directly by Hasselblad. Phocus software is great, but I only used it for really "color critical" work usually when tethered in studio. I preferred LR for most everything else because the corrected files remained in the Library as RAWs … output of files in Phocus are tiffs.

Hi Tim,Marc-
You said the Profoto Air radios sync to 1/800 on leaf shutters. The description on the BH link you provided says in two places that they sync with leaf shutters at 1/500. That's still better than my Elinchrom Skyports, but not 1/800. Am I missing something? Nice thing about the Skyports is that they allow me to manipulate strobe power on my Quadras and controls the modeling lights. I suppose I could carry one of the Skyports in my pocket for that purpose.
Thanks, by the way, as always for you mini tutorials. I can't tell you how much you have taught me over the years.

Kevin, what transmitter are you using? FYI, most top out at 1/500 sync with leaf-shutter lenses.Hey Mario!
I recently went the same route and moved to H3DII-31. The camera is just wonderful to work with, and the files are fantastic! Feel free to get in touch if you need anything. One little item that may help with synch as you use strobe on location too - there is a camera custom menu function called true exposure. It makes small adjustments in the priority modes based on lens selection and shutter speed to offer fine tuned exposures and works well. The only trouble is when this feature is enabled, your top synch speed flash exposures will be underexposed even in manual mode. Seems to not allow the full strobe light in at speeds above 500th. It's mentioned in the manual in a really small place! When I do daylight balance at top speed I just disable the feature and all is well at any speed!
Enjoy!
Kevin
